[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1614022, member: 109136"] I am very anal about using brass between rifles, never mix them. I have 4 PPC's, their brass is in different colored boxes and never interchanged. Between my son and I we have three 270's, brass is never mixed. The only exception is the AR's, they are just spray and pray guns, so who cares. Because of the very shallow almost none existent shoulder on the Whelen, it does not take much to be off. Find a gun smith to make you a "gizzy" (that's what we call them). It is a small piece of barrel that the smith runs the reamer in just enough to create the shoulder. You slide it over the neck down to the shoulder, then measure from the base of the case to the top of the gizzy on a fired round. After sizing it, you can tell with in a .001" if you have pushed the neck back. When I get home tonight, I will take a photo of one and post it. My suggestion is to always keep the brass for the two rifles separate. That still does not eliminate the possibility of setting the shoulder back with a mal-adjusted sizing die. You could even be setting the shoulder back with the seater because the shoulder is so small, you can hardly feel the crush. I am always amazed by people buying "Once Fired Brass" shot in someone else gun. Brass is cheap, why take the chance? JMHO [/QUOTE]
